I'm not justifying anything relative to this odd behavior. Just pointing out that
(1) I wouldn't be taking the time to personally observe such bizarre activity, and (2) the guy should be concentrating on his driving.

If the traffic light was red, it is conceivable that in addition to noticing the driver's strange behavior, the bicyclist also had some time to note the license plate on his car and report it to the police.

> From the PA Weekly article..."The man was allegedly masturbating while looking at her, she told police."

(A) Is it possible that he was just watching out for bicyclists as the light was about to change soon? (B) Since the witness mentioned that this occured as she was proceeding along Sand Hill Road, how can she prove or be absolutely certain that her presence was involved in his motivation or incentive? (C) How did she manage to find the time to notice this behavior while in motion on a bicycle?

As aforementioned, taking note of the car's license plate or a cellphone pic would substantiate this incident and allow law enforcement to pursue the matter further.

Years ago, I worked for Pacific Telephone in Palo Alto. We were wiring a new multi-story building at Hamilton and Bryant and were working on the second floor. One of the guys I was working with was looking out the window and suddenly called out, "There's a guy driving past with no pants on!"

We rushed over to see but the car had gotten a green light and pulled away. We said he was making up the story when we suddenly saw another driver with no pants on. Amazing!

We spent about two weeks installing systems in the building. As I remember, we saw on average, about one pantless driver every half hour.
